I must of let a tear slip from my cheek, it hit Taylor. Taylor pulled out his phone,

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"You'll see" he replied.

I looked at Taylor's page, nothing yet.

At the bottom of my screen I see New Tweet from @Zak_Bagans

"oh no Dad's involed now" I said worried,

I know Zak's pissed since it's 3:45 AM in New York...

The man cherishes his sleep.

"@Zak_Bagans : Hey everyone threating to come after my daughter, you're not getting close to her, get over yourselves"

then to top everything off, Taylor's tweet popped through.

"Everyone needs to calm down, Ashley doesn't deserve this. stay strong sweetie :)"

"Thank you" I said,

I was stupid and checked my notifications.

"I'm coming for you"

"Watch out, you break Nicks heart, I'll break you"

"Oh look, your address is on Google see you soon"

I looked at Taylor before hugging his bare chest startled.

"It'll be ok, how about we shut this" Taylor said leaning over shutting the laptop and setting on the ground.

I laid on his chest I moved up and down with his breathing.

"I need Zak" I said after a minute.

Taylor pulled out his phone,

"Hi Mr. Bagans, Ashley needs you and I think you know why" Taylor said into the phone,

I started crying.

"He's on his way." Taylor said.

I nodded my head and wrapped tightly around him, he returned the favor and set his head against mine. After around 39 minutes of me jumping at every little noise, Taylor looked at me,

"I can't fall asleep.. I'm scared" I cried.

Taylor sat up and turned on the tv, he got up and headed over to the movies.

"Larken!" I yelled,

I heard screeching paw nails across the floor running to me, Larken's pitbull body jumped in my lap and licked my face. Taylor came back over and sat criss cross, he gently pulled me in his lap, of course Larken was apart of it.

"Get some sleep I'll stay awake" Taylor said.

I nodded off right after he said that. I woke up all sprawled out on the couch, when I didn't feel Taylor's body I shot up.

"Taylor!" I yelled scared.

I heard footsteps upstairs headed down the stairs, Larken got all puffed up and ready to strike. Down the stairs came a horribly bruised and bloody Taylor. I switched from worried to feared,

"Oh my God, Taylor what happened?" I asked running to him, he could barely stand,

"There was someone last night" he said breathlessly.

"Oh my God, Taylor we have to get you to the hospital right now" I said.

"No I can beat thi-" Taylor collapsed on the floor.

"NO!" I screamed.

I sprinted to my phone and called 911.

"Hang on Taylor they're coming" I said.

I clutched to his chest crying. When the paramedics showed up they took Taylor in the ambulance, I climbed in the passenger seat, we sped to the hospital.

"Please be ok" I mumbled over and over.

We pulled in the back of the hospital, people took Taylor inside as a police man escorted me to the waiting room, "

Is he going to be ok?!" I yelled.

"Sorry I don't know" he said walking off.

My phone rang,

"Dad?" I asked crying,

"What happened?" He asked fast,

"It's Taylor.. He's at the hospital." I said,

"Ok I'm coming" He said

"How long?!" I asked still crying.

"Around 4 hours, I'm sorry it's the best I can do" he said

"Ok" I cried.

As I hung up, I looked at Twitter, I read Taylors tweet through my head,

"stay strong sweetie"

"stay strong Sweetie"

I breathed in and slowly lifted my head to face the rest of the huge waiting room and across the room...

I came to meet my eyes with Nick's.
